Hassan Faggett
I am a goal-oriented relationship builder who continuously looks for opportunities to help others and make people and processes better. I thrive in atmospheres where teamwork and creative problem solving is needed most. I am also someone who will question the status quo to be more efficient and/or effective.
I believe just about everything can be looked at as a project. It is either one large project or a series of smaller projects. Leaning on my project management background and its principals has helped me tremendously in everything I do. It causes me to understand all the processes that could possibly affect my desired outcome(s), prepare for possible variances and/or bottlenecks and in some cases question the validity of the current process or workflow.
This method of operating has helped me:
- Help organizations save or recapture millions of dollars
- Help organizations acquire over $25 million in funding
- Help organizations pass corporate audits
- Help a startup grow from $12k or $650k in revenue in just over 3 years
- Help startups acquire almost $4 million in government contracts
- Design and manage successfully pilot programs
- Sale more than 2 million in products and services for multiple Future 500 companies
Exploring the “why” and “how” things are done has assisted me greatly in running nonprofit organizations, managing in corporate America, closing large sales orders and helping to lead a startup company. I understand this approach may not work for everybody. However, this is how I am wired, and it has helped me to log some major wins in my career.
